Grad student brings first statewide Jamaican Choral Music Symposium to Boulder
Mention Jamaican music to most Americans and the pop sounds of reggae usually come to mind. But there’s much more—the wonderfully rich harmonies of choral music, hundreds of rarely heard sacred songs and folk songs that deserve more exposure. O’Neil Jones—a DMA student in choral conducting and literature at the College of Music—is bringing those sounds to Boulder. Jones has created the first statewide Jamaican Choral Music Symposium, Feb. 22-25, to elevate the history, language and musical elements of Jamaican choral music through direct interaction with natives of the country. A highlight of the symposium will be a concert by the University Singers who are based at the Mona campus of the University of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica. MORE
